Deductions & credits
To prevent complications, you probably should have the title transferred in full to your child. Assuming that she has a real estate attorney helping her with the transaction, this is a simple additional matter for the attorney.
If you are still on the title when the home is sold, the default assumption will be that half the capital gains belongs to you and you owe tax on your half since you don't live in the home. You may be able to read but this presumption using a doctor and called "equitable ownership". Basically, arguing to the IRS that you were not really an owner and your daughter owned the entire property. But this is likely to be complicated, a hassle, and there is a chance that the IRS won't accept the explanation. So being off the title is probably a safer way to go.
